This is one of my favourite dialogues I wrote for Ella.

"I was never just one thing; I was shattered pieces learning how to love their shape. I was the howl of grief, and the prayer of survival. Now, I am the quiet that comes after the storm. I am the woman who stayed and remembered to live. I am Ella."

Finding power within herself, accepting and letting go of all the emotions. Stripping herself back to this beautiful soul that was dying to come forward. Being authentic in her truth 🙏 leading with grace and forgiveness. Finally accepting herself and standing in her truth.

Fifty Years Brave by Angela Candler available on Kindle Unlimited

At seventeen, Isabella was silenced, stripped of choices, and shamed into submission. Now, nearly fifty, she has reclaimed her life and founded a healing retreat for women seeking to break free from cycles of abuse and generational pain. But when her estranged daughter begins repeating her mother’s path, Isabella must confront buried memories and unhealed wounds.

Fifty Years Brave is a gripping and emotional journey through survival, trauma, and redemption. It explores the courage to choose oneself, the weight of silence, and the generational impact of unspoken pain. emotionally charged, introspective fiction centered on resilience, healing, and second chances.

Tackles silence, shame, and survival with honesty and empathy.

It’s that time again, a sacred pause before the next chapter begins.

Take a quiet moment to reflect…
✨ What didn’t feel aligned this past month?
✨ What drained you, distracted you, or dimmed your light?
✨ What’s one gentle shift you can make to support your well--
being this month?
This isn’t about judgment or shame.
This is about awareness, release, and renewal.
Let go of what no longer serves you, and choose not to carry it forward.
Affirmation for the Month Ahead:

“This month, I return to myself. I honor my body, trust my journey, and allow joy to rise in the quiet moments. I am enough, exactly as I am, and I choose to bloom anyway.”
You don’t need to do more or be more to be worthy.
Just breathe.
You’re already becoming.

For indie authors, the journey of bringing a story into the world isn’t just about writing the book; it’s about finding the right people who will help polish, strengthen, and share it. Two of the most important allies on this path are beta readers and ARC (Advanced Review Copy) readers.
